Terminal 23 is one of the most elite clubs in New York City. Tucked away between 6th and 7th Avenues on 33rd street, its entrance is blocked off by security rope and massive bouncers wearing the newest Jordans. The invite-only venue has a ping-pong table, pop-a-shot machines, huge HD televisions connected to Xboxes and PlayStations, and a barber shop for those looking to get a quick cut. Its main attraction? A full-sized basketball court bearing Jordan’s Jumpman and Carmelo Anthony’s script “Melo” logo. Whereas most clubs serve drinks, this one serves dunks.
On most days, the hardwood is reserved for corporate events or VIPs in the basketball community.
